If you are using a different type of motor, such as a 12V motor; you will have
to connect 12V into the EXT Power screw terminals found on the side of the
shield. By default, the shield is configured to run the Arduino off this
power source as well.
Please note, if you need to connect more than 12v, you must disconnect the
power feed jumper and power the Arduino through some other means. UNO cannot
handle 12V.
